When Bergamot is on hols, I am his official spokesmartian:

If you do nothing, the background image starts at top left of
whatever box it is in. If you want you can also "anchor" it there
officially or elsewhere with:

background-position: numberUnit numberUnit

"If a background image has been specified, this property
specifies its initial position." Bottom left eg. could be "0%
100%"
